Look Before You Leap

Too many people dont look upon the path that they tread Too many sins of the government Is why our soldier's lay in their graves dead. Each soldier hailed a hero in death But their death wasnt necessary To be without their life breath. Led by a government who leads their country with greed. False promises made Led to their deaths leaving many families in grief. Why are we fighting Why do our soldiers ride so freely to war? What are they thinking theyll gain Or what they even truly fight for? Lies are made to our peoples country men of the land By a deceitful government of cruelty ^ their greedy command. As they sit back looking on As our fathers brother's & sons Fight in this world forlorn. Think of why you should fight for a government Who dont ride into battle themselves Why sgould they sit back in safety Why should they be freed from ill healths. Foolishly is the belief that we fight for our lands. When it's only for the power & greed of our governing lawful demands. We need to start thinking & using our heads. Why fight for laws that dont even become as our peoples hearts to death has been led. Think of your children & how you want them to see Their world around them & a future with love within their own family. If we were only to look after our own Would the world even be fighting Would we even a war in our world condone. 09th dec 2016 Anna sabrina tate
